Steam & Excursion > Durango & Silverton Photo Charter -- Day 2

In a previous post (https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,6095492) I reported on the first of a two-day photo charter on the Durango and SIlverton. This post covers the return trip from Silverton to Durango on Saturday October 25.

Shortly before I made the photo of the excursion train at Rockwood, we staged a magnifient photo runby at Horseshoe curve about half mile north of Rockwood. Here is a sequence of 3 photos from that runby

And so ends a spectacular two days on the Durango and Silverton. Much apprecation goes to the D&S team that put this effort together.
